1. A method for reconciling computer application model conflicts, wherein the computer application models include i) an initial source computer application model, ii) an initial target computer application model generated by applying at least one transformation rule to the initial source computer application model, iii) a post-change target model produced by at least one change to the initial target model, and iv) a post-change source model produced by at least one change to the initial source model, the method comprising the steps of:

  • a) dividing the initial source and target models and the post-change source and target models into segments responsive to at least one segmentation rule, wherein the at least one segmentation rule is defined responsive to the at least one transformation rule such that use of the at least one segmentation rule divides the initial source and target models into corresponding segments;

    b) identifying change statuses of the initial segments relative to the post-change segments of the respective models responsive to comparing initial segments to post-change segments of the source model and initial segments to post-change segments of the target model; and

    c) generating an indication of conflicts between the post-change source model and post-change target model for presentation to a user or to a computer automated conflict settlement process, wherein the generating is responsive to comparing the identified change statuses of the corresponding segments of the initial source model and initial target model.
